What terrified her even more was that this ti, the mysterious Demon Hunter seed to align with demons. She had witnessed Lorenzo's terrifying power; if there had been a sliver of hope for survival before, with the man's arrival, that last bit of hope was shrouded in darkness.
But, why? Why would a Demon Hunter stand with demons, and why would the Nail Sword coated with Holy Silver end up pointing at her?
"Phew... finally found you."
Lawrence said casually. Horner did well; he attracted everyone's attention. The Purification chanism's forces all went towards him, while here, they went unnoticed.
Eve's expression was almost frozen; she rembered those words, originating from the monster she saw during her Spiritual Vision. Back then, it also said this to her; they had found her.
"Looks like our roles need a switch."
Eve said awkwardly.
Lawrence's target was herself; Selyu didn't need to wait here to die with her. Yet Selyu shook her head. Those demons continued lurking in the shadows, leaving no one able to escape alive. Although Lawrence's ultimate purpose was unclear, judging from the grand scale of tonight, his target was herself or Eve.
Neither had any chance of survival.
Watching Lawrence close in, Eve took a deep breath, seemingly calming down, then sincerely spoke to Selyu.
"It's truly a pleasure to et you, Miss Selyu Stuart."
Then Lawrence arrived, though his body aged, Secret Blood flowed within him. That burgeoning power dragged the mortal flesh to the forbidden realm, causing the dying blood and flesh to rejuvenate once more, tracing a crimson path, rushing straight at Eve.
The sharp Nail Sword transford into blazing white thunder, and the spirits beneath the sword scread to welco Eve's addition, then continued to magnify in her view.
The ti of death approached.
In that instant, mories scattered like shattered crystals in Eve's vision, each fragnt mirror reflecting scenes from her past, from childhood to adulthood, from her first horseback ride to her first day joining the police force.
For that fleeting mont, Eve seed to comprehend Duke Phoenix's intention. That island given as her dowry would be her paradise, Duke Phoenix would be the strongest shield, blocking all dangers outside, allowing her to live happily in that paradise, rather than dying here.
Duke Phoenix loved her, though that love was hard to understand, like a cloying candy, beautiful yet sotis unacceptable for Eve.
But suddenly, heavy footsteps sounded; soone was rushing here, bringing a vast army.
No ti to wonder who was coming, a sonorous voice rang out, accompanied by a thunderclap-like explosion.
As if realizing sothing, Eve instinctively hugged Selyu beside her, and in the next mont, the entire wall behind them shattered. On the black Armor burned blazing white flas, it soared over the heads of the two, like a falling white star.
Without a pause, the Black Knight swung that heavy Great Sword directly hitting the speeding Lawrence, swinging him away like a baseball, sending the crimson figure crashing backward, eventually subrging into the ruins.
Dust scattered with the rising flas; the jagged Armor resembled piled-up bones, breathing deeply. With each breath, flas rose and fell within the Armor's seams.
[Warning, Secret Blood Awakening at 26%, approaching critical threshold.]
The Black Knight raised his head, looking towards the direction of the ruins, gripping tightly the burning Great Sword, and then a ghostly laugh emanated from beneath the Armor, as if celebrating this long-awaited reunion.
